Carrington

28

There's a knock at me door finally waking me up out of my deep slumber. I slowly make it to my door and open it far enough to see who was there, "Tara yummy." I smile rubbing my eyes opening the door further.

"I told you she'd wake up eventually." She says as Jake and Johnnie file into my living room behind her. "Hi baby."

"Hey." I hug her Jake and Johnnie.

"Carrington will be here in a bit he was doing some sort of dating video." Jake smiles at me and takes a spot on my couch and Tara follows.

Johnnie looks around my apartment clearly looking for Dex.

"He's in my room hold on." I rub my eye and walk to my room the come back with my sleepy cat.

"He's so worth the allergies." Johnnie takes him from my arms.

"Your allergic?" I reach back out for Dex but he turns away stopping me.

"It don't matter." He brings Dex to the couch and sits down.

"Oh." I laugh and look at the three on my couch.

"Just sit down we are just hanging out. I didn't want it all to be awkward." Tara shurgs so I do as she says and sit on the edge giving me space from the group.

We all kinda sit in silence until Jake finds my remote and plays some random rom com.

A knock at the door catches everyone's attention.

Calmly I get up and open the door where Carrington stood. A very, very high Carrington.

"Hey." He hugs me and I hug back. We stay in a hug for a few moments before I finally pull away.

"Join us Carrington we are all just watching twilight and being dead silent." Jake jokes and Carrington laughs.

"I'm down to join." He makes the spot I once sat his and I look for a spot to fit on my couch.

"Jake scoot." Tara expands the poor boy so her Jake and Johnnie makes room for me and Carrington to sit next to each other, of course.

"You okay?" Carrington whispers in my ear and I shrug. He frowns and wraps his arm around me and we all watch the movie.

When we finish the second movie I'm basically fighting back sleep while both Johnnie and Tara laid on either side on Jake's shoulders sleeping. It was just me Jake and Carrington awake.

"Hey Anna, I don't want to wake these guys up, want t0 just do a sleep over?" Jake asks and I nod.

"I'll go get the guest bedroom mattress and some sheets." I get up hearing a whispered complained by Carrington about not being comfy anymore,

"I'll help you." Carrington follows me to my guest separate room that's like a storage closet. "Hey Ann?"

"Yeah?" I look up from the pile of laundry on the floor.

"Do you think we have a future?" He blurts out but the reddened face shows he immediately regrets it.

"Yeah, you are my best friend I think, I'll grow to forgive you and all of this will be past us." I pull out some sheets and blankets.

"Yeah." His smile is mixed with a frown.

I shrug to myself because what else did he mean by that?

"I'll help you carry this out." I grab the other corner of the bed and we drag the mattress out to the living room and I quietly put sheets on it and lay out a few blankets and pillows.

Jake lifts Tara up and laid her down on the bed and laid next to her. Johnnie got changed and cuddled up on the couch. Carrington climbed into the bed next to Jake and I laid on the opposite side of the couch with Johnnie.

It wasn't the best set up, but it does the job, we all get comfortable enough to fall asleep.

This is a short one I'm sorry I'm doing filler to build more for the drama:)
